Measurement is about more than just accountability. When impact metrics are integrated with financial and operational metrics they can help organizations develop better products and services, make better investment decisions, and become more efficient in achieving impact. And when evaluations support a collective learning agenda rather just a single project, they build knowledge for the entire sector. Since 2009, ANDE has regularly hosted its Metrics from the Ground Up conference, featuring discussion topics and conference themes from emerging measurement practices among our members. 

In 2022, ANDE is excited to host its first in-person Metrics from the Ground Up conference in 3 years.  With support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Tipping Point Fund on Impact Investing (TPF), the conference will take place in Bangkok, Thailand on November 21-22, 2022.  

FAQs

• Both ANDE members and non-members are encouraged to submit session ideas.  You do not need to be an ANDE member to submit a session idea or attend the conference.  
• If your session idea is accepted, you will mainly oversee leading the session and putting together the content.  ANDE staff will assist with logistical needs and will also review content and presentations prior to the conference. 
• Sessions should be focused on impact measurement and management (IMM), metrics, or monitoring and evaluation topics.  ANDE especially welcomes sessions focused on its key focus areas – gender, climate/environmental action, and decent work/economic growth.  
• We will not accept session proposals that are not focused on IMM/monitoring and evaluation.  Sessions that are business proposals or sales pitches will also not be accepted. 
• Multiple organizations can lead a session – ANDE encourages organizations to collaborate where possible.  When submitting your session idea, please disclose if you are working with other organizations to present your session.  
• The conference venue will provide necessary logistical support, such as projectors or other A/V equipment.
